In this episode of Make Your Life Your Legacy, I sit down with Levi and Stephanie Ware, co-founders of Melodic Caring Project, a nonprofit that brings live, personalized music experiences to children and teens facing serious illness. What began as a single livestreamed concert for an 11-year-old girl in isolation has grown into a global movement supporting over 50,000 children and families through music, connection, and presence.

Levi and Stephanie share the deeply human origin story of Melodic Caring Project, the moment music stopped being about performance and became a vehicle for purpose. We explore how creativity, technology, and compassion came together in a way that didn't exist before, and how listening to an inner nudge led them down a path neither of them could have planned, but both felt called to follow.


This conversation also goes behind the scenes: what it takes to build and sustain a heart-driven nonprofit as life partners, parents, and leaders. We talk openly about burnout, financial uncertainty, boundaries, communication, capacity, and the emotional weight of holding space for families navigating illness, grief, and loss without turning away from the hardest moments.


At its core, this episode is a reminder that legacy isn't built through scale alone, but through presence. Through walking toward pain instead of away from it. Through choosing relationship over avoidance, and purpose over comfort. Levi and Stephanie's story is a living example of what it means to let love lead, and allow life to rewrite you in the process.

In this episode of Make Your Life Your Legacy, I sit down with Stephanie Benedetto for a deeply human, unscripted conversation about reinvention, intuition, and what it actually takes to follow an inner knowing when logic, comfort, and external approval fall away. We talk about what it means to "jump timelines," not as a spiritual concept, but as a lived experience, including the moments when life clearly pulls us in a new direction, even when we don't yet have language, certainty, or a plan.

Stephanie shares her journey of leaving a 22-year marriage and a successful business, navigating identity shifts, rebuilding her life from the inside out, and ultimately following a visceral call that led her to immigrate to Portugal. We explore what surrender really looks like, the difference between waiting for life to change and choosing it, and how peace becomes possible when we stop outsourcing our decisions to fear, expectations, or future guarantees.

This conversation is for anyone standing at the edge of a transition (personal, relational, geographic, or professional) and wondering how to trust themselves when nothing on the outside can validate the choice yet. If you've ever felt the nudge to rewrite your story but questioned your sanity for listening, this episode is an invitation to come home to your own knowing.
